Sony Alpha a7RII

Sony has just released details regarding the follow-up to their 36 megapixel a7R called the Sony Alpha a7RII. The updates are many and impressive.

The biggest surprise about the Sony A7r Mk II are the enhanced video capabilities. The a7R II has been upgraded to shoot 4K in, “multiple formats” and 120fps at 720. It is unclear at this point whether this is a cropped APS-C capture, like the a7S. It is also unclear what is capable externally through the clean HDMI out.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Apple released the Canon EOS 5D Mark III in 2013 – and it has been the leader of the pack for DSLR video ever since then… tho with other cameras being released by other vendors, many would say that tho the III has only been out a little over 2 years, it is indeed dated.
